THE KING CHEETAH
THE KING CHEETAH L.P.
SPITSHINE RECORDS

THE KING CHEETAH L.P. is the debut full-length disc from London’s best new band in decades. The King Cheetah is aggressive and passionate, and the music reflects it all. Track 1, “Squaddie Meat”, begins with drummer Simon Hancock torturing his drums with brutal, pounding statements. Then Robin Holden’s thick, air-eating bass and the surfish guitar of Robert Paul Maune weigh in together. These three are an amazing band. Robert’s voice is sharp, smart, and creatively issues cool-as-hell melodies, and his lyrics are as masterful as his guitar work. People will be talking about the first time they heard THE KING CHEETAH L.P. 20 years from now. No matter what song you hear last, that song plays in your head all day. Go buy THE KING CHEETAH L.P. immediately.
